Asbestos testing for Cuddesdon
Asbestos testing for Cuddesdon properties
A test is the right choice when you’re worried about particular materials. If you are planning bigger work in Cuddesdon, a survey of the areas affected is typically better, and we’ll say which makes sense. From something broken during building work and garage roofs before replacement, we deal with panels behind heaters, black adhesive and garage roof sheets.
In places like Cuddesdon, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Cuddesdon
For managing agents and freeholders in Cuddesdon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- Sampling high or hidden materials may need access equipment
- Testing does not look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey

Cuddesdon questions
Do you cover Cuddesdon from London?
Cuddesdon is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Cuddesdon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
The process
Taking a sample is typically quick; the laboratory analysis takes longer. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.
- Describe the material and send a picture
- We agree how many samples are needed and send a quote
- Each sample is taken carefully and sealed
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the written result, and we explain what it means
Getting ready
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
Getting a price
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
